Chose ACTIVE Education
I would continue using ActiveNet over EMS only because it connects and talks back to Banner, which EMS currently lacks. Otherwise I am not sure I would choose it over anything else as the functionality isn't quite the same as the competition.

Good for online registration of community programs; the sort of class which is once a week. Poor for tracking classes where there might be assignments or homework.

Quercus works really well for education results, students can easily access results and can be kept up to date. Teachers can also input assessment results very easily. Communicate option very useful and used quite regularly

Pros
  • Separation of payer and the person attending the activity. For example: children incur charges, but the parent is responsible for paying them.
  • Fast - in our old system there was a delay while customers waited for the system to respond.

Cons
  • I really like the look and feel of ActiveNet Reporting, but it isn't extremely customizable. Maybe there is something I am missing, but other employees have shared that same feedback.
  • It would be nice to have the system synchronize with other software we use. (EMS, StarRez, etc.) When planning conferences, we currently have hotel guests and registration that we would like to share information for through each system. Currently it is just double data entry.
  • Would like to be able to add more resources and details to a room booking and have the corresponding departments be notified of the order/track inventory.

Return on Investment
  • Not sure yet.
  • It is newer to me and my department.
  • Double data entry which is just extra man hours.
